Ok, here you go. Sorry for the crappy pictures but it was too bright yesterday evening for the pictures to show up at all and this morning I was in a hurry and used my phone to take the pictures. Anyhoo, here they are...

First is with the end closed

Next is with the end opened up to allow it to be slid over the hammock

And the last is with it slid a few feet over the hammock (I didn't want to take my stuff out to slide it all the way over but you can if you want)

Great job dude! I like your additions and it should help out some people who want to try out some others ways on how to make one. We must unite to beat the skeet!

Well, Skeet Skeet Skeet! I couldn't resist!
I have a nice lightweight summer bug net hammock I picked up from amazon for about 40$- its a "Moskito Traveler" from Byer of maine- I like it for the buggy season and it's nice in the fall too because it is reversible so you can have the bug net hang under you- perfect place to stuff a poncho liner or wool blanket so that you don't have to lay directly on top of it.

For a cheap piece of gear it's worth its weight in gold- Ive had mine for 3 years now with no issues.

I did the same treatment around all the openings. Edged them with a small nylon channel and used draw cord on the hammock ends and 1/32" shockcord for the big bottom hole. I also treated the whole thing with permethrin.

I also made the bottom hole 96" in circumference. In other words, I cut each side with a bottom dimension of 48".

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace without end to you.
